lonely and depressed now knowing what to do

lately ive been depressed due to the lack of friends or a companion i cry everynight due to this i dont know where to turn when it gets bad i make attempts on my own life how can i over come this and be happy like i want to be?

Keep yourself busy. When I was in a dark time, I just played video games. The video games helped me keep my mind of the subject. Eventually, I forgot what I was upset about over time. Made a lot of good memories too <3

To be honest, I don't think theres really a right or wrong way to go about it aside for not doing anything. This place seems like a pretty cool place so far to make friends and just have people to chat with, wether its someone you'll be with or just a friend to talk to. I know how it can be, and how rough it is. currently i've been depressed because of what happened with me recently and somebody I like. But I'm trying to move on and move past it. The best thing I can think of, is to do your best not to worry about it as much, you'll find someone sooner or later, its just hard. Sometimes you have to really kick yourself in the ass to keep it going... but its worth it. So just find some people to talk to here, and just talk about your interests with them, your hobbies. life. all of it. even if you don't talk to them much afterwards, its always good to get things off your chest. sometimes we need someone to rant to about our life problems. like a journal if you will.

@blazedawn hi it hard to say what to do as I understand your feeling down I can understand about the to the lack of friends because I've only one good friend myself.@Wertingman makes a good point about games but also should fill your day with other stuff maybe when you have those thoughts go for a walk or try a new hobby.@lugexd suggested you can always come to this site to find people to have a rant with.

Friends are all relative. You may think you are the only one who spends vast amounts of time to himself, but a large portion of the population do the exact same thing. The people you see smiling and happy can actually be quite the hermit outside of social interactions. The first realization that is helpful to make is that both friends and companions are optional. They are not critical for you having a healthy life. If you depend on others for happiness, you will never be happy. Every person has to generate their own happiness, and then others will be drawn to you. Trust me, I realized this the hard way. You need to find something other than people that makes you happy and do it. After you find that happiness, put yourself out there and talk to people. See people as a way to enhance and embellish your life. You will find that not only do they give you more happiness, but you give them happiness in return. It's a give and take. You're still very young. Hell, I went through 8 more years of complete solitude than you have. You should take a short-cut and listen to my advice :P

when i was depressed i listened to shows a lot. i cant remember this one thing a guy sad but theres many different ways to say it, something about being happy and if your down you wont go anywhere. basically listening to shows and music helps

Well why don't you have friends? Do you not actively put yourself in situations where you can meet people? Is there something you do that turns people off? Is there something about the people that are around you that turns you off? You can't solve a problem if you don't even know what the problem is

Don't put so much emphasis on it. The more you think about it and worry about it the worse it gets. Like others said just try other things to distract yourself from it. It's like a cut you keep picking at and ripping open over and over, If you don't leave it alone it'll never heal properly.
